Players will invade the dreams and memories of fan favorite characters and harness telekinetic powers to battle humans and creatures alike, as Henry Creel’s transformation into Vecna and his influence on the events of prior seasons is revealed.” “Stranger Things VR will allow fans to experience the world of Stranger Things from the never-before-seen perspective of Vecna as he explores unknown realities, forms the hive mind, and enacts his plan for revenge against Eleven and Hawkins. We don’t have a lot more details about the project right now but Tender Claws did share the following description: “As fans, we want this game to be very special and we are energized by the support and enthusiasm we’ve received from Netflix and the Stranger Things creative team.” “We are awed that we get to live within the Stranger Things universe and dive into the rich inner worlds of its characters through Tender Claws’ unique approach to nested worlds and immersive dreamscapes,” said Tender Claws directors Samantha Gorman and Danny Cannizzaro in a joint prepared statement. We’re extremely curious to see how their work develops with the writers of Stranger Things. The developers routinely play with VR’s unique advantages over traditional mediums, toying with ideas like scale, jumping between realities, and telekinetic superpowers all mixed with a touch of existential dread. Their use of live performance on Quest headsets in The Tempest was remarkable for demonstrating how a performer could manage ticketed shows in standalone VR while slipping into characters to tell one of Shakespeare’s stories. Tender Claws is the studio behind some groundbreaking VR experiences including The Under Presents, The Tempest, and Virtual Virtual Reality games. The game is described as featuring psychological horror and action “from the never-before-seen perspective of Vecna as he explores unknown realities, forms the hive mind, and enacts his plan for revenge against Eleven and Hawkins.” Stranger Things VR is coming to “major VR platforms” in late 2023 and was revealed in a trailer premiering on YouTube today.

Tender Claws is developing and publishing Stranger Things VR in partnership with series writers to explore Henry Creel’s transformation into the villain Vecna. Gives you time to rewatch season four a few times, I guess.Stranger Things VR is coming in late 2023 with one of VR’s most innovative development studios making the game in collaboration with Netflix. Strange Things VR is out on “major VR platforms” in winter 2023. That was largely thanks to the presence of Vecna, who finally puts something of a human, eminently punchable face on Stranger Things’ creepy world of the Upside Down. I won’t ruin season four of Stranger Things for you if you haven’t seen it yet, but it was probably the best the show’s been to date. Listen, VR games don’t usually get my attention very often but even I think this looks intriguing.

Tender Claws have worked on a few VR adventures before, but this horror game is their first big licensed outing.

This will apparently involve invading the subconscious of familiar Stranger Things characters, along with battling humans and Upsidedownian monsters with your brain-throbbing telekinetic powers. You’ll shepherd Vecna as he explores the Upside Down, mucking about with the otherworldly, alien contents therein to start bringing his evil plans for revenge together.

Stranger Things VR delves into earlier seasons of the show than just season four. I’m not sure exactly how involved they are, but the trailer is suitably Stranger Things enough that it’s not that big a deal if they just looked at it and went “Yes, fine.” You can watch it for yourself below.

The game’s been commissioned by Netflix, with the series writers involved in creating it. Ever fancied becoming the bad guy? Well, a new Stranger Things VR game that mixes psychological horror with action is coming from creative studio Tender Claws in 2023, and it casts you as telekinetic monstrosity Vecna.
